Ascending, Do Not Disturb!

Chapter 124: Making Money

Ling Bo shrank back into the clouds, not daring to breathe. After Huan Zhong and Kong Hou left, she sighed in relief. “Shi-shixiong, you said they could not be together. I said they did not have just a simple relationship between them.”

Luckily she had not just charged out and called them. Otherwise, she would have been very embarrassed. She could compete with Kong Hou on who dressed better, but she could not interrupt them in the middle of their loving.

Chang De had not thought that Huan Zhong and Kong Hou really got together. The cultivation world was casual about matters of love to the point they did not care. He had only ever seen interactions like the ones between Spirit Master Huan Zhong and Celestial Kong Hou in mortals.

“Let’s return.” Ling Bo turned around. Radiance Sect was holding a banquet tonight. She could not scout out Kong Hou’s attire, so she had to work on her own. They were both pentad spirit base female cultivators. She could not lose to Kong Hou.

“All right.” Chang De noticed Lin Hu had noticed them from the corner. He bowed to Lin Hu, turned the flying sword, and flew back to his own residence.

The Cloud Gazing Hall of Sword Cry Peak was Huan Zhong’s private residence. The entire palace was an enormous field of spirit energy. Each furnishing and each pillar carried special energy fields that were beneficial to pendad spirit base cultivators who lived there.

Compared to the grand wealth of Radiance Sect, Kong Hou suddenly felt Splendid Cloud Sect was very poor.
“Most of these are things I got from secret realms.” Huan Zhong pushed open the cave door to the treasury. The cave was filled with flowing light, and richer than the treasuries of some sects.

Kong Hou looked at Huan Zhong, and then at the treasury. Was this a tycoon flaunting his wealth?

“Apologies, I do not know what to give you.” Huan Zhong held Kong Hou’s hand. “Pick whatever you like.” He then put a jade scroll in Kong Hou’s hand. “Use this jade scroll to open the doors of this cave residence.”

The jade scroll was icy cold in her hand. Kong Hou stilled and shoved the jade scroll back in Huan Zhong’s hand. “I am a messy person, I do not want to be your housekeeper. Your entire person is mine—what do I want the jade scroll for? If I want anything in the future, wouldn’t it be better if you got it for me?”

Huan Zhong held the jade scroll and seemed puzzled. “Then let’s see what is inside first, and then I will get what you want in the future?”

Kong Hou smiled brightly at Huan Zhong, amused and helpless. “You are usually calm and smart—why are you so stupid now?”

Huan Zhong was even more puzzled. Was he not doing very well?

“Let’s go.” Kong Hou gripped Huan Zhong’s hand and walked into the treasury. There were numerous shelves placed in the treasury filled with all kinds of talismans and jewels as if they were worthless stones.

“This one.” Kong Hou picked up a small and refined hairpin which had a formation that would glow when worn. “Tonight, there is a banquet. Many female cultivators will come. I will not let people say you are blind and picked an ugly-looking silly girl.”

Huan Zhong heard her words and walked to a door in the corner. He pulled open the small door. Inside were side chambers filled with all kinds of jewelry and precious stones. The light was so blinding that Kong Hou’s eyes hurt.

“If you like those, that is so good.” Huan Zhong smiled helplessly and said, “I do not know what to do with these things.”

“Ah!” Kong Hou looked at the rings and hairpins in the small room and jumped onto Huan Zhong to hug him. “Huan Zhong, I finally understand why many people like rich people.”
